Socio-economic differences and education

No or small differences in incidence due to economic or education level differences have been found, although lower socio-economic status (SES) predict that symptoms will be experienced as worse / more painful (1). Why this difference in experience? Two causes are probable: a) worse nutrition and more stress caused by the lower SES causing an objectively more severe disease, or b) subjectively experiencing being more ill.
